Paths cross again for Woodson, Manning

Charles Woodson, and Peyton Manning, two of the most decorated and respected players in the NFL, meet on the field for only the fifth time Monday night at Sports Authority Field.

Click here to read about two players who competed for the Heisman Trophy in 1997 and then four months later sat in the same green room for the NFL draft.

Manning went No. 1 to the Colts, Woodson No. 4 to the Raiders. In between, the San Diego Chargers took Ryan Leaf and the Arizona Cardinals selected defensive end Andre Wadsworth of Florida State. Leaf was derailed by his own maturity and personality, while Wadsworth had bad knees and was out of the league in four years.

In terms of head-to-head meetings, Woodson was 2-1 against Manning with the Raiders and 1-0 with the Packers, all against the Colts.

Sorry Doctor…I don’t think Flynn can play behind this line! The coaches made the right choice!

Carson Palmer still has plenty of fans on this blog.

I hope this is the game Pryor breaks out, it seems like it would be fitting. He ain’t scared of the bright lights, this is his type of game.

Never understood why a lot of folks in The Nation WANT the recognition. I like being under the radar.

Eh. I want recognition. I wanna be feared and loathed and revered all at the same time. I want the talking heads from the Donks and Dolts pissing in their pants describing what it is we r about to do to their old teams. I want Berman to renounce his being a San Diego fan after we send Rivers off the field crying. I want Gruden and Gannon to say “holy shlt, never saw a Raiders team this good”. I want Madden to be able to die a peaceful death knowing we r gonna kick the shlt out of 9 out of the next 10 opponents, year in and year out. I want all the haters like Mike Silver and Tim Kawakami to give up because they have noting negative to write about anymore. I want to win so much those puzzies on the HOF board have no choice but to let in Guy and Plunkett and Brown and all the other disrespected Raiders from the last 30 years. I want guys like Steve Tasker and John Lynch, some of the other small number of broadcasters that actually look for something good to say about us to be applauded and recognized for it.

I want it all.

If he turns his head around, he’ll make his 1st pick. If not he’ll finish the game with like 6 tackles off of completions he’s given up.
